Top 10 Sandwich And Hotdog Eateries In Santiago Chile

There are few things Chileans love more than their mouthwatering sandwiches and hotdogs.

1. Fuente Alemana

Restaurant, Sandwich Shop, German, Fast Food

Chile’s most legendary sandwich shop, the Fuente Alemana, or “German Fountain,” is a favorite eatery among locals and tourists alike.

2. Fuente Mardoqueo

This notable sandwich shop in Chile’s historic Barrio Yungay neighborhood has been serving up meat sandwiches to Santiaguinos for nearly three decades.

3. La Terraza

Sandwich Shop, Restaurant, Fast Food

This typical Chilean sandwich shop attracts an alternative, young crowd and is centrally located close to Santiago’s Plaza Italia.

If the weather’s nice, grab an outdoor table and order the classic chacarero sandwich, which includes green beans, tomato and the spicy green ají pepper. If you’re lucky, local musicians will stop by to play a tune or two while you eat.

Restaurant, German, American, Vegetarian, Vegan

This modern sandwich shop doesn’t have the same legacy as other well-known Santiago eateries, but it still serves up a reliably mouth-watering sandwich with lots of topping options, and is based in the city’s historic center.
